This blog has always felt a little vain and self-centered (I mean, the main thing I do is post pictures of myself!). I knew even when I started that I wouldn't be style blogging forever, I just didn't think it would come this soon. I'm at the point where I'm really happy with my wardrobe and personal style, and this blog has played a huge part in that, so I'm glad I did it. And I don't want to quit totally, just change things up a bit so it's not constant photos of me, me, me.
The problem with that is: what do I blog about if I'm not blogging my outfits? I'm not especially witty, nor do I really want to blog about personal things like my marriage or family on the internet. I LOVE getting comments that say things like "this post has helped me realize {insert whatever here} about my style...thank you!" Posts like that are what I want to keep doing.
I don't always get many comments or feedback on my posts, so it's really hard to gauge what people want to see more of or what would be helpful. So I'm asking...what do you want to see? What are some pasts posts that you've really liked or found helpful? What haven't I done yet that you'd like to see? What have you really hated? Any and all feedback would be great! :-)
What I will probably keep (based on past feedback):
- Free Stuff Friday
- Recipes (occasionally, maybe like every other week?)
- A weekly roundup of any outfit photos I have. I probably won't be doing any more posts of just one outfit, unless it's part of a challenge like Everybody, Everywear.
- I would LOVE to do more guest posts (weekly if I can get that many). So please email me if you're interested (even if you don't have your own blog). Maybe I can even talk my friends or family members into posing for outfit photos for me. :-)
Next week I'll be recapping our Colorado road trip, and after that things will start looking a little different.
Thanks in advance for your feedback! :-)
Faith, hi! So fun you want to do a little blog make-over =) I always feel a little weird too after I've posted outfits only for a few weeks in a row. I'm thinking about ways to vamp up my blog myself but am so uninspired! Dont' ask us what we would like to see more, it's your blog! I know, so cliche, but true. I like to post bits of my daily life too, such as dates I had with the boyfriend or small trips I made with friends. Generally those posts don't get half as much attention from readers as the outfitposts but they show who your most true readers are =)
ReplyDeleteI'm always in to write a guestpost, if I have the time. So if you'd like me to write one you may always shoot me an email at gohomemydear@gmail.com =)

Thanks so much for the comment Nikki! Ha, you are probably right! Problem is, I don't know what to do! I'll be thinking though... :-)
